ALL ABOUT DAYLIGHTING PART 1: ITS CONCEPT AND BENEFITS

Sunlight can provide a variety of benefits. Many people, however, choose to spend majority of their time indoors. This is why Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis recommends installing windows in your home that optimize daylighting.

Daylighting Part 1 Concept Benefits

Daylighting is the process of making the most of the natural light coming into your homes. It can lessen your reliance on artificial lighting for more energy savings. Besides being cost-efficient, it also provides many aesthetic and health benefits.

In this first installment of our two-part blog, your trusted Chesterfield, Missouri, windows company discusses in detail the benefits of daylighting.

Promotes Energy Conservation and Efficiency

At least 20% of your home’s energy consumption comes from electric lighting. Since lights discharge heat, reducing their consumption can lessen the workload of your air-conditioning system. By implementing a daylighting strategy, you can save on energy costs, while increasing indoor comfort for your family.

To make the most of sunlight properly, have us install our replacement windows in Chesterfield, MO. They come st andard with our innovative Fibrex® frame material, which has inherent superior insulating properties. We combine it with our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass that can block the sun’s harmful UV rays. This can optimize natural light into your home, without you worrying about sunburn or furniture damage.

Daylighting can also help conserve environmental resources. While power plants burn coal to produce electricity, the widespread use of daylighting can conserve fossil fuels. This can also reduce greenhouse gases and pollution.

Enhances Aesthetic Appeal and Overall Value of Your Home

Daylighting can be most effective when properly incorporated into the overall design of your home. This can make your home’s interior brighter and warmer. The glass panes of our Chesterfield doors and windows can let in natural daylight, provide adequate ventilation, and give you an unobstructed view of your outdoor scenery.

Improves Health and Productivity

Studies show that day-lit environments provide mental and visual stimulation. Natural light also contains substantial amount of short-wavelength light rays, which support your circadian sleep-wake cycle. It can also increase serotonin production, which reduces stress and promotes a greater sense of well-being. It helps in the production of Vitamin D in your body, as well.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
